OREANDA-NEWS. The volume of funds held by individual clients at Sberbank has reached a record level, exceeding the equivalent of RUB 10 tln.

Since the start of this year, these assets have grown by more than RUB 1.5 bln (vs. RUB 318 bln during the same period last year). More than half of this growth was due to foreign currency liabilities - from revaluation of the portfolio and new inflows of more than the equivalent of 7.5 bln dollars (vs. a 0.06 bln dollar decrease of the foreign currency portfolio last year). The rouble component of the portfolio increased by RUB 774 bln (vs. a decrease of RUB 184 bln last year).

"In 2015 the population have been gradually returning their savings to banks. At the same time, when choosing a bank, clients are focusing more on reliability. This is something Sberbank offers along with competitive conditions for deposit accounts," commented Natalia Alymova, Director of Sberbank of Russia's Non-Transaction Retail Product Department.
